BTW - When Huey Lewis's Sports album (and I mean vinyl 33rpm) came out, I saved up money and wanted it so bad, but my parents didn't think I should have it because it had I Want a New Drug on there and this was during the Nancy Reagen "Just Say No" campaign. They thought the song would lead to us using drugs... After a month of begging and promising that I'd never do drugs, they let me buy it.

I held a listening party in the driveway for the rest of the neighborhood.

Awesome song

My Dad loves 80s music, probably why i like it so much. He has a few stories like that. There's home videos of me as a young buck in diapers dancing around our sound system while my dad blared GnR, Van Halen, Rolling Stones (Tattoo You), Michael Jackson, Prince, Ac/Dc, journey...

I never stood a chance. Combine that with my early teenage found love for rock of the 60s and 70s, and most bands i grew up loving where dead before i was old enough to appreciate them lol.

And speaking of 80s music: I was also a huge weird al fan as a kid (still am), even saw him at the Saenger a long time ago. I'll defend his music and my worship of it to the grave. Funnier and more entertaining than any stand up routine ive seen. He is one of those guys that gets alot of hate now for whatever reason, but UHF is another one of my go to movies. Filled with famous people before they were famous.
